We are seeking a proactive, customer-focused HR Services Coordinator to join our People, Safety & Culture team in Burnley, VIC on an 11-month fixed-term contract covering parental leave (from Nov 1 2026 – 30 September 2027).

In this pivotal role, you will be part of our HR Shared Services team, delivering generalist HR support across a diverse workforce of 3200 salaried and waged employees.

  • Coordinating leave processes across Australia and managing termination workflows (company property, novated leases, etc.).
  • Partnering with HR Business Partners, Site Supervisors, and People Leaders to provide hands-on HRIS coaching and process support.
  • Managing the Service Awards program, assisting with annual performance/goal review processes, and identifying opportunities to standardize and optimize HR procedures.

  • Hands-on knowledge of HRIS platforms (experience with SAP SuccessFactors is highly preferred).
  • Good working knowledge of Australian employment legislation, HR policies, and experience interpreting EBAs/Modern Awards.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage, advise, and influence stakeholders across all levels of the business.
  • Strong attention to detail, resourcefulness in troubleshooting process/system issues, and advanced Microsoft Excel/Office skills.
